Adrian has revealed he rejected several offers in Spain to join Liverpool.
The goalkeeper has established himself as a hero at Anfield after his penalty shootout heroics secured the UEFA Super Cup last week.
And he admits things could have been different had he accepted the chance to return to his homeland.
He said: "I had several offers from Spain, some of them were advanced and also in other leagues.
"But when I got the offer from Liverpool, there was hardly anything to think about. They told us that they would sell Mignolet and I was the first option. If I said yes, they would not continue searching in the market.
"I just had to introduce myself in Liverpool. It was all done very quickly. In just two weeks everything happened."
